Re: global font-lock?

Matt> Good point. But I'd say Hrvoje beat you to it. :-) Matt> it has even more to do with modes than with buffers. I'm probably unusual; I do tend to have buffer-specific usage of font-lock (I turn it on when I'm worried about hairy syntax errors, otherwise off when I think I know what I'm doing). So I agree with you guys, especially since I don't see any way to implement my preferred behavior (requires reading my mind AFAICT :-). Matt> Perhaps the major-mode change is where the hooks should go? Yes. But wherever it goes, it should be transparent to the major-modes themselves. I don't know how easy that will be to implement, though. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Don't ask how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
